Abstract: An electronic price label (EPL) support method in which support of an EPL system may be provided by a main computer (12) in a store, a host terminal (13) coupled to the main computer and other main computers in a chain (10) of stores, or a combination of both. The support method includes a method of modifying an EPL system within a transaction establishment. The host computer creates a price look-up (PLU) batch file (52) containing changes to a PLU data file of the store and sends it to the main computer. The main computer applies the PLU batch file. Either the host terminal or main computer provides an EPL batch file (33) for modifying an EPL data file (32) in response to the changes in the PLU data file (44). 
     When provided by the host, the EPL batch file may contain temporary identification numbers for new EPLs. Either the host or main computer may additionally provide overlays (55) for new EPLs, reassigned EPLs, and replacement EPLs.

Abstract: The ESD circuit of the present invention provides the relatively low shunt capacitance (typically <0.5pF) and series resistance (typically <0.5ohm) on circuit input and output pads that are desired for the present and future contemplated generations of sub-micron Bipolar/BiCMOS circuit protection schemes. 
     The ESD circuit of the present invention provides a higher efficiency, more space efficient ESD circuit that is achieved through uniform turn-on of multi-emitter fingers from an internal Zener diode current source. The Zener diode is also operable to lower the protection circuit trigger voltage from the typical ∼18V to ∼7V without introducing any additional series impedance into the signal path, thereby rendering an NPN structure that is particularly well suited for protecting Bipolar and CMOS input and output buffers.

Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un dispositif de préparation et d'application utile pour mélanger et appliquer plusieurs fluides qui doivent être mélangés immédiatement avec l'utilisation. Dans une forme d'exécution, le dispositif comprend deux applicateurs de fluide reliés à un système de deux conduites à fluide séparées. Chaque conduite à fluide débouche dans une chambre de mélange où les fluides sont mélangés et d'où le mélange obtenu est évacué. Le système de conduites à fluide comprend en outre une conduite à gaz qui a une sortie reliée à une des conduites à fluide et qui peut être utilisée pour alimenter la chambre de mélange en gaz sous pression, afin d'en expulser le mélange, ce qui diminue les risques que le mélange ne bouche le dispositif. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de préparation et d'application du mélange de deux fluides.

Abstract: In order to control a movable object (100) such as an automobile, the differential of acceleration is derived and used as control information. In order to derive that differential, a value representing the acceleration may be differentiated, but preferably a sensor (111,112) is provided which generates a direct measurement of the differential of acceleration. In one example of such a sensor, a pendulum (1) has a coil (3) thereon which interacts with the magnetic field of a magnet (2) on a casing (10) supporting the pendulum (1). A current is supplied to the coil (3) such as to generate a force resisting movement of the pendulum (1). It is then found that the voltage across the coil corresponds to the differential of acceleration.

Abstract: A surface electrode (316) on a surface (330) of a LED has a pad (318), and further, at least first-order branches (319a, ..., 319d) linearly extending from the pad (318), second-order branches (320a, 320b, and 320c) diverged and linearly extending from the first-order branches (319a, ..., 319d), and third-order branches (322a, 322b, and 322c) diverged and linearly extending from the second-order branches (320a, 320b, and 320c). The pad (318) out of the surface electrode (316) is not in electrical contact with a underlying semiconductor layer (331), whereas the surface electrode (316) and the semiconductor layer (331) are in electrical contact with each other at ends of the highest-order branches (322a, 322b, and 322c). Also, the semiconductor layer is provided along a pattern of the surface electrode in a mesa shape. Thus, ineffective light emission underneath the surface electrode (316) is relatively reduced so that external quantum efficiency can be improved, and moreover even shorter-wavelength light can be allowed to go out at high efficiency by omitting a current diffusion layer.

Abstract: A shoe sole which enables the Aori movement of a foot
to be readily performed is obtained. According to the
invention, the shoe sole is formed of a toe portion 10 and
a main portion 20. Toe portion 10 has one upper surface F
(first upper surface) and one bottom surface portion
(first bottom surface portion). Main portion 20 has one
upper plane E (second upper plane), and three bottom
surface portions B, C and D (second, third and fourth
bottom surface portion). The thickness (t2) of a portion
on the lateral side of bottom surface portion C of main
portion 20 is formed smaller than the thickness (t1) of a
portion on the medial side. Bottom plane C (third bottom
surface portion) permits a foot to supinate in a natural
manner in dorsiflexial position when the third bottom
surface portion touches the plane of walking. By the
interaction between such third bottom surface portion and
the first, second, and fourth bottom surface portion as
described above, during walking, the fourth bottom surface
portion first touches the ground, a foot supinates when
the third bottom surface portion touches the ground, then
the body weight is shifted toward the medial side by the
second bottom surface portion, and finally the first
bottom surface portion supinates for kicking the ground.
In other words the "Aori movement" of the foot is readily
performed.

transfer cycles and a period is counted in which the data
transfer cycles are present during the total period. Bus
efficiency is measured based on the active period and data
transfer period. Read data usage on the bus is also
measured. A first amount of data read by a first device is
monitored, and a second amount of read data used by a
second bus device is monitored. The read efficiency is
determined based on the first and second amounts.

Abstract: Air conditioner (1) has a function capable of
automatically restarting a predetermined air conditioning
operation in a case where a power supply from a power
source (21) to the air conditioner (1) is interrupted and then the
power supply from the power source (21) thereto is recovered.
Whether or not the automatically restart operation is
performed is switchably set by an auto-re-start setting
means. A refrigerant is reversibly circulated by a
refrigerating cycle elements annularly connected with each
other of an executing means whereby an air conditioning
operation is executed. A content of the air conditioning
operation is memorized by a memory means as an operation
content data. Whether or not the interruption of the
power supply and the recovery thereof occur during the air
conditioning operation is judged by a judgment means. Only
in a case where the performance of the automatically
restart operation is set by the auto-re-start setting means
and where the interruption of the power supply and the
recovery thereof occur during the air conditioning
operation by the judgment of the judgment means, the
operation content data is read out by a control means from
the memory means and the control means makes the executing
means restart automatically an air conditioning operation
according to the readout operation content data.

Abstract: A current source based multilevel bus driver and converter suitable
to simultaneously inject precise magnitudes of current from multiple
locations into common lines of a bus and then detect analog sums of the
net current. The analog current sums so detected are decoded into
digital equivalents corresponding to the respective current injection
sources. In a typical application the current source drivers and
converter are located on separate integrated circuit chips. The
reference node common to all the chips allows a reference generator on
each chip to precisely define bias and transmitted current levels
suitable to ensure precise values of injected current and to accurately
differentiate between analog current levels in each line as an aspect of
conversion into digital form and attribution as to origin.
